2011 Kansas Goodguys Autocross The impressive RideTech Triple Adjustable Coil-Over Shocks in action. Ride quality on the street and autocross was vastly improved. www.ridetech.com bangshift.com killbillet.com
The video has a bunch of wind noise… ‘47 truck cab chopped in every direction to fit an ‘84 S-10 frame… ‘77 305 mated to the S-10 T5… 295/50/15 tires front and back… Winner of the 2009 & 2010 Goodguys Mid-Western Nationals Street Rod Autocross and the 2010 Goodguys Heartland Nationals Autocross… The truck was designed and built with autocross racing in mind… The sound/video quality is not that great, but what can you expect from a little point and shoot camera…

2012-04-21 – Spec Miata Engine Explodes on the Track – Barber Rezoom Event
2 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
My stock 1.8L with 92K miles on it explodes on the Barber track. Luckily I did not get charged for oil cleanup (Barber is really strict in terms of giving you a bill for any cleanup or damage to their facility – but it is a nice track). This was a stock engine except the timing wheel had been adjusted per the SM rules for 1.8L. There was a hole in the block for number 4 cylinder and bits of piston head had come out the hole. I will take the engine out and examine the damage more closely. But now I need a new engine

March 11, 2012 Road Atlanta Miata Crash – NASA HPDE 2 group
17 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
This 2003 Miata Shinsen Edition was a brand new build by OPM Autosports in Cumming, GA. They installed cage, seat, Schroth 6 point harness, SPA AFFF 6 nozzle fire suppression system, radiator, brake lines, tow hooks and much more. They also oversaw the painting of the interior and hard top. Their workmanship is beyond reproach. It really was the coolest looking track Miata I had ever seen — which makes this story so sad (OPM also did ride height, corner weights and alignment for Spec Miata class and provided track side support for this NASA SE event). I was in HPDE 2 group (one step above beginners). I waited three months for the build to complete. I promised myself I would not wreck on the very first weekend I had the car back but … I did. I hit the inside wall after T3 pretty hard. Personally, I think I went to full throttle too soon at T3. If I had just waited a few tenths longer until the right rear tire had cleared the curbing before mashing the throttle, I think I would have been ok. It’s a painful lesson.

Spec Miata laps at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
0 Comments | Posted by Guest Author in club racing
Check out my footwork on this circuit: www.youtube.com 3 laps of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in a Spec Miata, prepared by Ed Railton and Premier Auto Service. The 3rd lap is the fastest I’ve driven the Miata yet, a 1:48.48 according to the timing transponder (the onboard timer is usually a couple tenths off). The time was good enough for 13th overall, in a field of 60 cars. Ric McCormick was in my ear, on the radio for the whole thing. He helped me with setting my pace and managing traffic. It paid off hugely. In the 2nd lap the red car passes me and gets a bit sideways. Both our laps are blown. He was faster so I let him go. Having a rabbit to chase helped.
Burnouts! Spinouts! Smashing cones! It’s all part of these action scenes from the Royal Purple autocross that was set up in the parking lot of LP Field in Nashville during HOT ROD Power Tour 2011
